Basketball great Michael Jordan paid tribute to Pep Guardiola as the departing Manchester City manager was given a final sendoff during an open-top bus parade and high-profile after-party.
After the parade through the streets of Manchester, a sell-out crowd of 19,000 inside the Co-op Live arena — near City’s Etihad Stadium — witnessed a video message from Jordan to Guardiola on the big screen.
